The Walker Artwork Heart in Minneapolis presents the primary U.S. solo museum exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Pan Daijing. Born in Guiyang and based mostly in Berlin, Daijing is thought for crafting immersive, emotionally charged environments that span sound, sculpture, video, structure and, above all, efficiency. A self-taught composer, she’s drawn consideration in recent times for her daring explorations of experimental and industrial sound, incomes her a spot among the many inaugural medalists of the Artwork Basel Awards.
In Sudden Locations, the artist transforms the white-walled Burnet Gallery right into a darkish, sensory panorama that “evoke sensations of entropy, ennui and melancholia,” per the establishment’s assertion. The exhibition is anchored by 4 main works together with “The Hour Between Canine and Wolf” (2021–2024), her most formidable moving-image work to this point, and “Scale Figures” (2021/25), a cross-campus sound and sculptural set up the place two voices echo each other in a haunting symphony. Additionally on view are two new untitled chalk-on-canvas work impressed after Mute, her exhibition at Haus der Kunst in Munich final spring.
“By minimal means, Daijing blurs the boundary separating the art work and its setting, creating deeply emotive landscapes that conjure a spread of associations with solitude, intimacy and belief,” expressed curator Pavel Pyś. “To expertise Dajing’s work is to reconcile seemingly what are opposites – the person and collective, presence and absence, hope and despair.”
Pan Daijing: Sudden Locations is on view by way of July 6, 2025.
